I am not sure I got all the ins & outs of the link koen posted -many thanks koen, I really enjoyed the read -
but why being a roadie wouldn' t be a lifelong dream for a man who likes his job and doing it?
As I always says, not everybody can be a president, a head singer or a famous head singer.

"....But if I had to come up with the thing that sticks in my mind most about being on the road, it would have to be being on the Stones stage on a night when they are so unbelievably ON. Usually during a show I’m not really paying attention to it. My mind is on the next song and getting the guitars ready for 4 or 5 minutes from now. I’m always thinking ahead. But sometimes I’ll stop for a second and say to myself “What is that I hear?” and I’ll look around to the other guys I work with backstage to see if they hear it too and pretty soon we’re all at the top of the stairs and we’ll see that the guitar players are huddled up in front of the drums and they’re all smiling and at that moment they sense it and we sense it. That at that moment the Rolling Stones are playing as good as they can play and they are absolutely on their game. I can honestly say that it doesn’t happen at every show. In fact it only happens maybe a dozen times in a whole tour. But when it does, man it’s something to see."

Sounds like a pretty amazing life, and the veritable opposite of a "low aspiration". Thanks for the cool read.
